Appears in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 - "Recycled Koopa" (1990)

"Stench City,"[1] referred to as "Smelly Town" on The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3: The Complete Series DVD, is a song from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "Recycled Koopa." The Koopas resort to dumping their Koopa trash down a Warp Pipe to Brooklyn, where it turns all the humans into Koopa Zombies. As Mario and Luigi try to clean up the garbage themselves, the Koopa Zombies chase them while the song plays. In the Italian dub, "Slippin' and Slidin'" is played instead, making this song and "Brotherly Love" the only songs to not have its instrumental present in said dub. "Stench City" appears to be a mild parody of "Surf City" by Jan and Dean.

Lyrics[edit]

English[edit]

We're pilin' up garbage in a great big heap
Stench City, USA!
It smells so awful it can make me weep
Stench City, USA!

Dumpin' down from heaven above
It's just an expression of Koopa love!

Stench City, USA!
Stench City, USA!

We're gonna spread slime over everyone
Stench City, USA!
Never remember havin' so much fun
Stench City, USA!

Meetin' the enemy face to face
Spillin' our garbage on the human race!

Stench City, USA! (Yes, stench!)
Stench City, USA! (Yes, stench!)
Stench City, USA! (Yes, stench!)
Stench City, U-S-A! (P.U.)

Brazilian Portuguese[edit]

Brazilian Portuguese Translation

Acumulando lixo num calor de suar
Bang, bang, americano!
Cheira tão mal que chega a me irritar
Bang, bang, americano!

O lixo se espalhou e está por toda parte
Não dá pra caminhar nem no centro da cidade

Bang, bang, americano!
Bang, bang, americano!

Jogando muito lixo em todo mundo
Bang, bang, americano!
Há quanto tempo não me divertia tanto?
Bang, bang, americano!

Com a imagem do inimigo em minha mente
Me encho de coragem, sai da frente!

Bang, bang, americano!
Bang, bang, americano!
Bang, bang, americano! (Bang, bang!)
Bang, bang, americano!

Piling up trash in the sweltering heat
Bang, bang, American!
It smells so bad it actually irritates me
Bang, bang, American!

The trash has spread and is everywhere
You can't even walk in the city center

Bang, bang, American!
Bang, bang, American!

Dumping loads of trash on everyone
Bang, bang, American!
How long has it been since I had this much fun?
Bang, bang, American!

With the image of the enemy in my mind
I fill myself with courage—get out of the way!

Bang, bang, American!
Bang, bang, American!
Bang, bang, American (Bang, bang!)
Bang, bang, American!
